Thanks...and especially a big THANK YOU to the wonderful people who responded! There are people that (at one time) visited these boards that I'm a little surprised haven't added their unutterable wisdom to this post, but maybe they're gone now..? Joshua Dyal? As I understand, he often had a...

If you need issue numbers, I'd be happy to oblige.

Safe assumption. Rest assured, we does have Countdown, oh yes we does my preciousssss.

You're right--it sure sounds GE, doesn't it?

Terrific. I have the book, and ironically my setting features rudimentary firearms. I'd welcome any advice or additional info you'd be willing to provide. I'll look for this ASAP! Ironically, I just ordered this from Chaosium. ;) Are you talking about the OD&D or AD&D (with audio CD)...

Again, thank you for the fresh batch of incredibly cool ideas, everyone! Any ideas where The Inside might be found? I have some decent Google-fu, but "inside" "pdf" and "Dungeons & Dragons" is a bit too open.

Interesting. Sounds a lot like the "animated cartoons from Asia" I've been watching lately. ;) Yeah, the "adult" ones.

I continue to be in your debt, everyone!

Wow, both posts are great! Thanks, Professor P & DJ C! ...And yes, I have that UO with the Glove Cleaners. (I never understood the reference--what the heck's a "glove cleaner"?)

Much more the former than the latter. Deep Freeze is, essentially, Mountains of Madness for 2nd level D&D characters: the PCs investigate why an insane asylum is being effected by nearby mountains, wherein live...things. BIG mo-fo things trapped in ice. Alas, no madness checks. "And Madness...

It can be done, however: look at Lords of Madness. Look at Dungeon adventures "Deep Freeze" or "And Madness Followed". I just need some basic plot ideas that can be lifted from CoC and dropped into D&D. I'm shocked how many BRP CoC adventures I own that would require massive re-working just...

Before I ask my question, I'd like to be clear: this is a request to generate some ideas, not for lists of books and published adventures I likely already have. I've looked in CoCd20, Cthulhu Dark Ages, Heroes of Horror, the Freeport trilogy, most of my Chaosium/Pagan Publishing BRP Cthulhu...

I need to ask you to clarify this a bit. I'm absolutely not trying to challenge you, but--as a new DM myself--I'm not sure how you do this on-the-fly. I'm still using training wheels - I run published adventures. I also have a very small group (3 players, with hirelings as needed). Now, I...

Sounds kinda silly, but I found a decent DM's screen really helps. Goodman Games just released a 2-panel screen that has piles of useful combat move summaries (Grapple, Bull Rush, etc) as well as weapon & armor charts and brief summaries of most "normal" skill resolution rules inside the...

Level of party?

I'm thinking you don't. That's why it's so nerve-wracking both in and out of character when you yank (sorry, 'draw') a jenga block. The player is basically done, unless the referee wants to have the player run NPCs.

Totally agreeing on that one. Heck, you could charge $5 for a small handful of questionnaires, too, and I'd snag that.

That said, you can (should?) get errata for the 2nd printing (1.5 pages worth, not including the license) at the Troll Lords' site.

Yes, that's basically what I was getting at. Thanks for helping clarify! I also agree with what several others have said--if the player thinks s/he knows more about the monsters than the DM, there's a problem. I will be sure to change critters to "near unrecognizable" and "much more deadly...

What tone or genre or flavor are you looking for? League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (comic book version) high adventure? Holmesian detection? Horror, a la Poe's Rue Morgue? Dickens?
